Hi all! So, I am in a med-surg clinical this semester and we will be working in negative pressure rooms using n95 masks. I have concerns about this and am also not totally sure of how the n95 masks work. We got fit-tested last semester - our instructor sprayed some sweet stuff into the hood we were wearing and we were supposed to say if we smelled/tasted it while moving around. Honestly, I was kind of confused during the process and am not sure if I rinsed my mouth well the first time. I wasn't *totally* sure if I was smelling/tasting it or not. I also was recovering from a slight cold, so not sure how my sinuses were working. Anyways, I never said I detected the sweet smell/taste, so I was recorded as a small. I really just went along with the process, not fully understanding its importance. So, now I'm concerned for this next week of clinical. Should I tell my instructor? Or am I worrying about it for nothing? I *think* I am a small, but not 100%. I put the mask on my face that I have from when we got fitted, and it seems to fit around my face. Any responses to my concern are appreciated. I don't want to catch TB. Ain't got time for that.
